The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.
---Mark van Doren
I think the greatest part of motherhood, so far, is watching Haley discover the world around her. Everything is new and exciting to her. I get such a thrill from helping her experience this amazing world. New flowers, foods, activities, and sights make up the best parts of our days together. She is at such a great age. She reacts now with giggles, claps, and wide eyes. I feel so lucky to witness it.
Some of her latest and greatest discoveries include:
Blueberries - squishy, tasty, two thumbs up
Cheerios - fun to pick up, hard to get into mouth, yummy once accomplished
Standing up in her crib - exhilerating, free, glowing with pride
In-N-Out Burger - not quite sure why Daddy wants to go there daily (don't worry, he doesn't...he just wants to), pretty sure it is the reason he wanted to move to St. George
The baby pool - wild fun, refreshing, even tastes good (I am just assuming because she consistently attempts to drink from it)
Clapping - comes in handy, makes me happy and seems to make everyone else happy too
Babbling "Ba, ba, ba" - fun to do with my lips, the louder I get the more attention I seem to get

She is growing so big. I can't wait to see her and teach her lots of fun things...like "pay the rent" etc.
i love it that clapping comes in handy. so true. when they can't do much, they sure love the things they can do. just wait till she jumps OUT of the crib. now that's an accomplishment to be proud of.

I sure do love that girl! She's getting so big! Look at her in that high chair! Did you go get one?
Sunny St. George huh? Sounds like you're having fun! Nolan and his wife Treo live there and love it. They used to have plans for him to finish school and then they would move back here, but they have changed their minds because of how great they think it is.
St. George Chicka! She is getting so big so quick! Now explain to me why J.R does not go to In & Out? Love that place! She looks like your baby pictures to me right now! Are you all settled in now? You will love it we have some good friends down there we should introuduce you to, you would love them. Hope your doing good!
I always knew you were creative in your posts... I love all the comments by Haley. She is a doll and I swear that really is what they are thinking! SO FUN!
Love her! Miss her!!
I'm here to say that it only gets better and better...and worse and worse (I say this cause I just did a post on parenting!) She is edibly adorable and has the sweetest expressions.
